Regimental sergeants-major, who before the Boer War had worn four chevrons with a crown, were given in 1902 the badge of a single large crown on the lower arm, but adopted a small version of the Royal arms in its place in 1915 when they became warrant officers class I (WOI) as the warrant officer class extended. 

Metal crowns are either gold or brass finish. They come with a double shank with split pin fitting and brass base plate which protects the wrist band from damage by the crown and gives the crown extra brightness.

The Pace Stick is used to measure the correct length of pace, while walking the pace stick, the RSM checks to ensure that wherever the leg falls, there is a man / woman to match. You never want to be in the wrong place when the leg of the RSM’s pace stick falls to the floor. Rhythm and uniformity in marching is achieved by using the Pace Stick as well as the drum and metronome. Correct pace length is necessary not only for ceremonial purposes, but also to reduce fatigue on long marches and set the standard of accuracy required of soldiers.
